After the nationwide loosening of Covid-19 restrictions in China, more and more people around me have high fevers and other symptoms. They have to stay in bed for rest for at least 7 days.
In this case, what should we do to care for our pets during these difficult times?
The best way is to take all reasonable precautions to protect yourself and your family.
Decrease unnecessary gatherings. Wear facial masks and also wash your hands after back home. Don’t touch pet friends if not wash your hands.
Then make a good preparation for pet supplies to avoid any shortages. Because of the people shortage of a hard time, a lot of pet stores will be closed, and the logistics are quite slow. Thus, it is important to make sure that you have an accessible supply of pet supplies at home so that you can care for your pet while ill.
There is a list of the necessary pet supplies:(Be sure to have at least a one-month supply of the following items)
1. Pet food;
2. Pet medications;
3. Cleaning supplies;
4. Dog pads or washable mats;
5. Cat litter;
6. Pet toys(in cast can’t go out for a walk for several days. )
Last, if finally caught COVID-19, the best solution is to have another member of your household care for your pets until you are feeling better.
If you must care for your pet or be around animals while you are sick, wash your hands before and after you interact with pets
and wear a face mask. Do not share food or sleep with your pet in your bed.
Cough or sneeze into your elbow or a tissue and dispose of the tissues in a hygienic way where pets cannot access them. Be sure to wash your hands after sneezing or coughing.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces.
Everything will go better. If winter comes, can spring be far behind?
